I am related to #C14 John Pinkney Carson. He was born in Woodville TX 9/30/1844 and died in Heidenheimer TX 3/29/1939. He had a sister Amanda Carson b.ca 1848 and a brother Joseph b ca 1856. His parents are unknown. He was amember of Lawhorn's Co serving in the Brazos during the Civil War. He married Mary JaneNeil (b Miss 7/28/1849 d Heidenheimer TX 5/12/1934) on 12/24/1866. They had Children: Frank (FC) Henry, Charles, Ida, Albert, Mary (Burton) & Culley Clyde (my grandfather). John Pinkney Carson's mother may have been named Elizabeth George. Culley Carson Sr was born Woodville TX 8/9/1881 and died Manchester, CT 3/26/1953. He married Elizabeth Luella Virginia Peck 9/25/1910 (b 7/22/1958 Parksville, TN d 7/22/1958 Tyler TX. They had i son Culley C. Carson, Jr b 10/30/15 d 6/14/96. married Dorothy Scarborough 8/29/39.

Elizabeth Carson (1811-1863) born in Mississippi, died in Bell County, Texas, married Joshua Joseph Parker in Leake County, Ms. Elizabeth "Betsy" Carson Parker is my 3rd Great Grandmother. I believe that John Pinkney Carson is the son of my grgrgr Elizabeth's half-brother Thomas Pinkney Carson and his wife Martha A.E. Allison. He had many siblings besides Amanda and Joseph... Elizabeth and Thomas's father was John Carson, b SC 1786- d TX 1874/75.You have alot of relatives and family history in Texas!I hope I can not only learn more about my Carson family here with you all but somehow, someone can shed some light on the Parker connection that seems to run through a few Carson lines and generations.Look forward to hearing from you.

Melinorasdell, do you have a male Carson who would be willing to test? We could see if there is a relationship. Do you have a descendancy you want to post? You could start another thread on John, perhaps we can find a link.
